bones on the beach Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Whe[D]n I[A]'m lying in my[G] bed,[D]
I [A]like to pre[Bm]tend
That my [G]body is just [D]bones on the [A]beach
It's [G]the first time I feel res[D]ted
Since my [A]mother's womb, [Bm]I slept in
My last [G]home between the
[D]stones and the [A]sea
[D]Some overzealous anthro
[A]pology profess[Bm]or
[G]With all his studen[A]ts in [Bm]tow
Carry [G]spades and [D]books for studying
Stum[A]bling, discov[Bm]er me
[G]I implore them to leave me a[Asus4]lone[A]

[Verse 2]
Say, [G]"Give me [D]one millen
[A]nium [Bm]more there"
[G]Maybe [D]I will b[A]e l[Bm]ong more there
Than [G]any [D]place in [A]which I
was [Bm]living[G]
When I'm [A]bones on the beach
[D]

[Verse 3]
[Bm]With the [G]end long pas[D]t
nigh one [A]eternal sigh
[Bm]I've no brea[G]th that is left [D]to r[Bm]e lea[A]se
And the [G]loudness [D]of mind
has been [A]gone since I [Bm]died
Was [G]I meant [Bm]in this life to [A]find peace
[D]Before [G]I became b[Bm]ones
[D]on [Asus4]the beach?[G]
I hear foot[D]steps [A]and bones,
they cannot [Bm]look left
But I re[G]gister [A]her stepping [Bm]nearby
[G]Her face is [D]peaceful
She's [A]looked upon life's [Bm]evil
And con[G]sidered it next to [D]infinite [A]skies
[G]She doesn't ask[D] for more tim[A]e

[Verse 4]
[G]Give me [D]one millen[A]nium [Bm]more there
[G]Maybe [D]I will b[A]elong m[Bm]ore there
Than [G]any [D]place in [A]which I [Bm]was living
[G]When I'm bon[A]es on the bea[D]ch[G]
When I'm [A]bones on the beach

[Verse 5]
[A]
[Bm]it w[G]ill)
(Death won't [D]bring what you
[A]think [Bm]it will)
What I long [G]for's nonexist[D]ent [A]in any belief sys[Bm]tem
[G](death won't bring what you think it will)
[D]All I, all I want is some [A]rest,
there's no sen[Bm]tience in death (death [G]won't bring what you think it will)
Just [D]the darkness at [A]the worst,
[Bm]temporality and [G]permanence (death won't bring [D]what you think it will)
I don't know [A]what's on the [Bm]other side
[G](death won't bring what you think it will)
(Death won't [D]bring what
you [A]think it will)
But I don't [Bm]think it's what [G]I had [D]in mind
(death won't bring what you [A]think [Bm]it will)
I hope [G]I find some [D]rest in this [A]life [Bm](deat[G]h won't
[D]bring [A]wha[Bm]t you[G] t[D]hink i[A]t will)
(Death won't bring what you
hope it will)
(Death won't bring what
you think it will)
